      Question

      A man sold an article for 40% profit. If the selling

      price of the article had been Rs. 210 less and the cost price had been 50% less, then the profit percentage would be 40%. Find the original cost price of the article.
      A Rs. 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the initial cost price of the article be Rs. '100x' So, initial selling price = 100x Γ— 1.4 = Rs. '140x' ATQ; 140x - 210 = 100x Γ— 0.5 Γ— 1.4 Or, 140x - 210 = 70x Or, 70x = 210 So, x = 3 So, initial cost price of the article = 3 Γ— 100 = Rs. 300
